SHAKESPEARES

GLOBE THEATRE
By Gwyneth Cunningham

The Globe Theatre audience was a very

important part of the play. At this marvelous
theatre was a pit where groundlings or
stinkards stood, and they paid 1 penny. There
were 3 galleries in the Globe Theatre where people
could sit for more money. When rich ladies went
they wore masks so they would not be seen. The
groundlings would throw things and shout if they
did not like the actors or the play. One good thing is
that anybody could afford going to the theater. In
the Globe Theatre, the audience was almost like
another character. Shakespeare wrote his plays so
the audiences could interact with the actors. In
addition, there was even a part in the stage where
actors would talk to the audience. This is why the
audience was a very important part of the plays.

1. Flag- black for tragedy White for Comedy Red for

History People could see it on the other side of the river

2. The Heavens- Ceiling over the stage painted with
blue and stars. & Sound affects
3. Tiring House- dressing & storage room. Large props,
entrances and exits, & actors resting and changes.
4. Upper stage- mostly bedroom & balcony scenes

5. Galleries- 3 seat sections that are covered paid more

for the bench and more for a bench

6. Main stage- main place where action, people could sit
on all 3 sides. High, lots of outdoor scenes
7. Inner stage- mostly used for indoor scenes & had a
curtain
8. Open yard- people stand and pain 1cent and
interacted with the actors
9. Support pillars- wooden pillars that supported the
roof & they were painted so they would look like marble.
Actors would hide behind when taking to audience or
spying
10. Trap door- actors could go up or down if they were
dead, ghost, or witches. Under the door was called hell.
11. Entrance- 1 entrance where everybody entered and
put there money in the box. It took the audience about 1&30
minutes to come in to the theatre.
12. Brick foundation- since the globe was built on wet,
mushy land the foundation needed to be strong.
